Just a short update on what's been going on with us -
Chase: Chase just finished his first year of preschool (only 1 day per week)- is doing so well with letter/number recognition and is working on writing the letters of his name. He is incredibly athletic, spends most of his time outside playing basketball with neighbors, soccer at the park, riding his bike - and LOVES playing baseball right now (non stop...). He is also quite the 'negotiator' ....bedtimes, treats and stuff right next to the register at the store.
Emily: Is very verbally articulate. She has an amazing, understandable vocabulary and speaks in understandable sentences. Has been climbing on everything (practically giving me a heart attack) She is starting to sing ABCs and can count to 5. She is definitely her daddy's girl....She hangs in with brother all day long, and is quite tough... Loves to go to storytime at the library, and this fall will start some sort of gymnastics/baby gym type program because she is showing impressive raw skill in those areas right now. She grabs my tap shoes and wears them around the house all day, so we're looking for a used pair of shoes that will actually fit her so she can play with that a little...
Mike: Is doing great with his flying- has been with the company for almost a year and a half now. Flies with another good captain and they enjoy their location when they are on the road. Which is better than sitting in the hotel room all day/night. Has his hands full with keeping the yard and the cars, etc. when he is home.
Kimmie: Subbing a bunch and still trying to wrap up my PT cert....still teaching my preschool yoga and actually subbing a preschool ballet class here and there (I swore I'd never go back....but....) Just raising my children and attempting to keep house and take care of my two dog babies from day to day takes everything I've got, but I still manage to fit in MOPS twice per month and take little 'field trips' with the children a couple of times per month to keep them occupied. I'm blessed enough to have a mother and father in-law who, a couple times per month, (especially if Mike is away) come over and take the children for the day.
Well that's all for now.... hope to make another post soon.

Austin American Statesman Capitol 10K
y sister in law Robyn and I ran the Capitol 10K on April 11th- I had watched and known people to run this race while in school there, and finally did it myself. We were sans our dear friend Catherine who was unable to go because of a serious accident earlier in the week. We wrote her number on our arms, so she did cross the finish line even though she wasn't there. Not necessarily her best timing (since she runs something like an 8 minute mile....) Michael, the children and Paw Paw even came out to celebrate with us at the finish line. It was really wonderful to have them there. We visited Mt Bonnell, ate at Chuy's downtown of course, went to the Oasis, walked the UT campus and drag, were ALMOST attacked by a peacock (only in Austin...) saw the bats at Congress street bridge.....Here are a few pics from our adventures- we had so much fun. Hoping we make this a yearly tradition.
Easter 2010
The children had so much fun coloring eggs and then finding them when that silly Easter Bunny hid them! More Chase than Emily this year though....Michael arrived home from his trip early afternoon and we had a wonderful, full Easter dinner of Ham, mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus...we made a yummy queso dip to nibble on before dinner....even had a lite dessert (even though I'm not big on sweets ...)
